ju421019 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi - I have the following components/items: 1. Gigabyte G31M-ES2L Motherboard 2. E5200 Processor 3. Nvidia 7900 GS (256MB) Video Card 4. 4GB Patriot Viper Memory 5. Seagate 500GB Hard Drive 6. A 10.5 .dmg file on a Windows PC Machine. I believe I first need to burn the .dmg file to a dual layer dvd using transmac. My question is can I place that file on a USB? Also, what guide should I use that is most effective and efficient. If someone could point me to a link, that would be great. Thanks!

I still consider myself a n00b but I used the guide located at: http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/guide-gigab...tutorial-t3187/ I still don't have my nVidia Quadro FX3450 working, but that's because I don't have a full understanding of what the hell I'm doing yet. Also, I don't know anything about installing off of a USB drive. I burned a retail dmg to a dual layer using transmac.

ju421019 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I guess my first step from what I read is to decompress the .dmg file and then burn using transmac. Just to be clear to decompress the file I right click in Transmac and click 'Expand' - save the file to another location - and that is the file to burn?

ju421019 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Transmac corrupted my dual layer when I tried on windows 7 and winxp. I gave up on transmac. Any other program that is reliable before I waste any more dual layers? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/184507-gigabyte-g31m-es2l-guide-which-one/#findComment-1255026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
